if the video card draws too much power from the power supply, what will the symptoms be? if that turns out to be the case, i suppose i can rig an external 5v/ 12v power supply with a molex connector to supply the card ken On Feb 15, 11:31 am, Daniel Stewart wrote: > I agree that you may need

I agree that you may need to check you power supply to make sure it can handle it, but gaming is not the only instance where hadware graphic acceleration is helpful. Anything graphics/video intensive will almost certainly benefit. I am not sure how that argument of the CPU being a bottleneck is r

It would most definitely be an improvement unless the 6800 is PCI. lol. The new card would probably have better and/or more pipelines, pixel shaders...etc and the GPU clock speed will be faster. On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 6:11 PM, faithie999 wrote: > i'm running an XFX GeForce 6200 (flashed) video
